Chapter 316: Rakta transformation

Huang's momentum was slowly decreasing as time went by. While the arts were matched equally, his speed was slowly reducing, but his expression didn't change a bit. Li Xuanfa didn't manage to properly analyze the situation. Huang's momentum was decreasing, by something that fell off.

He could feel a bad premonition regarding this event. He felt the energy around him slowly increasing in density and flowing into Huang. It was subtle, but it was present. The two continued to clash with each other and fought like savages. Injuries were dealt with on both sides, but Li Xuanfa had incurred more because of the earlier encounters.

Wounds like this wouldn't be a big deal for cultivators at Li Xuanfa's level but the clash made it impossible to tend to their wounds, which meant slow yet continuous blood loss. After another couple of rounds, neither of them felt their strength weakening bit by bit. The wounds had managed to let a lot of blood essence flow away, draining a lot of Huang's strength.

"Could we take a small break?" Li Xuanfa tried to mock the situation, but Huang suddenly looked serious. The air around him started to feel different. Suddenly an overbearing aura fell upon Li Xuanfa, pressing him to the ground. Li Xuanfa tried to escape the aura's grasp, but the strength exerted was too strong.

"You are the first person who managed to force me to this level. Since that is the case, I will show you the second skill of Blood Devil. This is called Rakta Transformation."

Huang thrust his hand directly into the ground below him, and special energy made it to the ground from his body. Soon enough the blood, which was spread due to the crash, started to react and converge at a single location. Not only blood from the ground but also blood from the wounds of the cultivators. Low-level cultivators began to forcefully shrink.

Be it friend or foe, many were killed when the blood coagulated and flowed towards Huang. The blood energy flowed through the ground and began to spread throughout Huang's body, into the blood outline which had formed when he began using the Power of Blood Devil. The outline slowly started to materialize and grow in size, until it almost grew to 2 times that of Huang. 

When I looked around him, one could see that there wasn't a single drop of blood left on the field, and 20 low-rank Qi Kings were killed from blood loss to the phenomenon. Li Xuanfa's eyes were filled with disbelief as he never imagined that his opponent would be so resourceful and practiced such powerful arts.

The process finally stopped as the figure behind Huang slowly started to merge with him, forming a sort of body cover around him. The breath released from his body was around 10times of what it was before.

The figure standing before them looked like being covered in a Blood Red battle suit, holding a long spear in his hand. Huang's eyes had completely turned red as he stared at Li Xuanfa with a scary look.

"You should be honored to fall by this art of mine," Huang said as his hands disappeared. Before li Xuanfa could even react, a tremendous force hit him in his abdomen, piercing him through his defense and blasting him backward. The defensive weapon on him broke down and fell on the floor, as he spouted out a huge amount of blood.

Li Xuanfa was trying to stand up when another attack hit him in the head, and once again his body was blasted towards the distance. The injuries incurred from the last two attacks were ten times what he had before. Li Xuanfa's body laid motionless on the floor. The Black-Devil group that their commander may have died and lost confidence in the battle.

"I commend your battle instincts. Even though you couldn't match up to my reaction speed, you managed to concentrate enough on the perfect place to guard against the kick. You must be an elite member of the bLack-Devil Church."

Li Xuanfa's body suddenly rose from the ground as a blood-covered face looked at Huang with a smile. " I never expected that a provisional Holyson would have this much strength in reserve. You must have been promoted to holy son already, or else you are hiding your strength."

"Why do you feel that?" Huang asked casually. He wasn't fearful of Li Xuanfa's action. He had absolute confidence that he could easily fight against Qi Emperors in his current condition.

"There is no way you wouldn't be famous within the central plains with your prowess. I have killed a lot of talents in my time, and never have I come across someone like you. I have to say, I am shocked by your Rakta Transformation."

"Are you considering surrender? You shouldn't give it a try. I am hell-bent on killing you and no one can stop me." Huang said as he disappeared into mid-air once again. The next moment he appeared beside Li Xuanfa, thrusting his spear toward his head. But to the surprise of everyone, Li Xuanfa raised his hands to counter it and was just pushed back without any injuries.

When the dust cleared one could see Li Xuanfa's body to be covered in a similar type of battle suit as Huang, but the color was Emerald-Black.

"You too are the second one who has managed to push me this far that I am not even certain of getting out of here alive after our fight. Since you underwent a taboo transformation, allow me to showcase my trump cards. This art of mine is quite similar to yours." A frightening amount of black energy was released from Li Xuanfa's body, as the air around him turned extremely heavy.

"It is called Gorefiend body art." Gorefiend was demon-level creatures who were said to have materialized out of yin energy. They were very powerful figures and using a transformation like this was going to harm Li Xuanfa's essence. But he had to risk it for survival.

Although Huang seemed impressed by the sudden art, he was still picturing a casual expression.

"You do understand that your gore fiend art is nowhere near comparable to my Rakta Transformation," Huang said to Li Xuanfa.

"I am just using it to even our defenses. As for the attack part, I have something else in mind."

Li Xuafa raised his sword, as a huge outline of the sword appeared in the sky. A huge sword projection reigned over the skies, as it looked down on the people below. For the first time in this battle, Huang felt a sense of mortal danger. His instincts were telling him to run, but space had restricted his movements.

"This is the most precious lineage I have obtained until now. The art is called the External Killing canyon's first move." As he said that, the huge sword dropped down directly on the duo. The space around them was completely wrecked as the Qi cultivators around them have basted away.

Everyone was waiting for the dust to settle down to identify the victor. This may as well be the end of this fight.

........................

"I didn't expect him to be able to learn the sword canyon from his inheritance. It is quite comparable to my Heaven-cleaving canyon. I guess we will get a chance to compare soon. I might even snatch his inheritance from him. I should be able to do that with could control right." Long Tao asked the Keeper.

"You should be able to. However, there might be something even more precious than that in front of us." The Keeper said.

"What is it?" Long tao asked.

"The art which the Huang guy used. I felt a similar sensation to the art from Blood general's." The Keeper said.

"You think that it might be related to the Beast-god scriptures."Long Tao was alerted by this find. He was trying his best to search for the next part of Beast-God scripture but was unable to find any traces, until now.

"I guess that the spear of Blood Devil is the next part of the Beast-God Scriptures."  Long Tao felt a wave of excitement flowing through his veins. He might have hit the jackpot with the current situation. All he had to do was act as a fisherman. A huge amount of treasure was awaiting him to come and grab.
